Answer: Hurt yourself
Clues: “Cut” and “Bruise”
A new poll by the band-aid brand Curad found the average adult suffers 35 scrapes and bruises each year. So, we’re injuring ourselves right around three times a month.
Kids are even more injury prone. And when you count all those old injuries, the study found the average American racks up 4,000 cuts, scrapes, and bruises over the course of their life.
The most common reasons we injure ourselves are: We get distracted or aren’t paying attention, general clumsiness and kitchen-related incidents.
We also have plenty of near misses: 80% have almost injured themselves while using their phone. 32% said it’s happened while walking and texting, 24% while talking on their phone and 19% while scrolling through social media.
The poll found one in four people worry about other people judging them as weak or sickly if they have a band-aid on. But at the other end of the spectrum, one in eight want you to ask about their injury.
